Introduction
The proliferation of new technologies such as Internet of Things and cloud computing calls for innovative ideas to retrieve, filter, and integrate data from a large number of diverse data sources. Big Data is an emerging paradigm applied to datasets whose volume/velocity/variability is beyond the ability of commonly used software tools to manage and process the data within a tolerable period of time. More importantly, Big Data has to be of high value, and should be protected in an efficient way. Since Big Data involves a huge amount of data that is of high-dimensionality and inter-linkage, existing trust, security, and privacy measures for traditional databases and infrastructures cannot satisfy its requirements. Novel technologies for protecting Big Data are attracting researchers and practitioners with more and more attention.

GrAPL 2019: Workshop on Graphs, Architectures, Programming, and Learning
http://hpc.pnl.gov/grapl
Co-Located with IPDPS 2019
May 20, 2019
Hilton Rio De Janeiro
Brazil
-----------------------------
GrAPL is the result of the combination of two IPDPS workshops:
GABB: Graph Algorithms Building Blocks
GraML: Workshop on The Intersection of Graph Algorithms and Machine Learning
-----------------------------
Data analytics is one of the fastest growing segments of computer science. Much of the recent focus in Data Analytics has emphasized machine learning. This is understandable given the success of deep learning over the last decade. However, many real-world analytic workloads are a mix of graph and machine learning methods. Graphs play an important role in the synthesis and analysis of relationships and organizational structures, furthering the ability of machine-learning methods to identify signature features. Given the difference in the parallel execution models of graph algorithms and machine learning methods, current tools, runtime systems, and architectures do not deliver consistently good performance across data analysis workflows. In this workshop we are interested in Graphs, how their synthesis (representation) and analysis is supported in hardware and software, and the ways graph algorithms interact with machine learning. The workshop’s scope is broad which is a natural outgrowth of the wide range of methods used in large-scale data analytics workflows.
The objectives of this workshop are as follows:
* Understand data analytics workflows and the mix of graph and machine learning algorithms they require
* Understand the synergies between evolving device technology and graph analytics applications to drive: 1) the direction of emerging hardware and software architecture, 2) new graph analytics algorithms that better exploit the emerging hardware; and 3) application workflows that mix the large graph synthesis and analytics and machine learning.
* Explore different frameworks, languages and libraries to support programming graph analytics and machine learning algorithms
* Evaluate the performance and scalability of integrated platforms for large graph synthesis and analysis, and machine learning
While each of these topics on their own are well addressed in other workshops, we are particularly interested in the cross-cutting synergies. For example, hardware and software architectures specialized for machine learning (and in particular deep learning) may be poorly suited for graph algorithms. Can we understand these conflicting needs and perhaps find an architecture jointly optimized for both?
This workshop seeks papers on the theory, model-based analysis, simulation, and analysis of operational data for graph analytics and related machine learning applications. We are particularly interested in papers that:
* Discuss hardware platforms specialized for addressing large, dynamic, multi-attributed graphs and associated machine learning;
* Discuss programming models and associated frameworks such as Pregel, Galois, Boost, GraphBLAS, GraphChi, etc., for building large multi-attributed graphs;
* Discuss how frameworks for building graph algorithms interact with those for building machine learning algorithms;
* Discuss the problem domains and problems addressable with graph methods, machine learning methods, or both;
* Provide tractability performance analysis in terms of complexity, time-to-solution, problem size, and quality of solution for systems that deal with mixed data analytics workflows.
Besides regular papers, papers describing work-in-progress or incomplete but sound, innovative ideas related to the workshop theme are also encouraged.

Call for Papers
Containers and virtualization technologies constitute key enabling factors for flexible
resource management in modern data centers, and particularly in cloud environments.
Cloud providers need to manage complex infrastructures in a seamless fashion to
support the highly dynamic and heterogeneous workloads and hosted applications
customers deploy. Similarly, HPC environments have been increasingly adopting
techniques that enable flexible management of vast computing and networking
resources, close to marginal provisioning cost, which is unprecedented in the
history of scientific and commercial computing.
Various virtualization-containerization technologies contribute to the overall picture
in different ways: machine virtualization, with its capability to enable consolidation of
multiple underutilized servers with heterogeneous software and operating systems
(OSes), and its capability to live-migrate a fully operating virtual machine (VM) with
a very short downtime, enables novel and dynamic ways to manage physical
servers; OS-level virtualization (i.e., containerization), with its capability to isolate
multiple user-space environments and to allow for their coexistence within the same
OS kernel, promises to provide many of the advantages of machine virtualization with
high levels of responsiveness and performance; lastly, unikernels provide for many
virtualization benefits with a minimized OS/library surface. I/O Virtualization in turn
allows physical network interfaces to take traffic from multiple VMs or containers;
network virtualization, with its capability to create logical network overlays that are
independent of the underlying physical topology is furthermore enabling virtualization of
HPC infrastructures.
Publication
Accepted papers will be published in a Springer LNCS proceedings volume.

Computational Earth Sciences: Applications and Frameworks (IHPCES 2019)
https://www.cspp.cc.u-tokyo.ac.jp/IHPCES2019/
Dear colleagues,
IHPCES 2019, the 9th workshop in the series of "Advances in
High-Performance Computational Earth Sciences" workshops,
will take place in conjunction with the ICCS 2019 Conference
in Faro, Algarve, Portugal, from June 12-14, 2019.
The objective of this series of workshops is to provide a forum for presentation and discussion
of state-of-the-art research in high performance computational earth sciences.
IHPCES workshops foster communication between Earth scientists, applied mathematicians,
and computer scientists. The workshop therefore presents a unique opportunity to exchange
advanced knowledge, computational methods, and science discoveries in computational geosciences.
Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Large-scale simulations on supercomputing systems in earth sciences
Advanced modeling and simulations on natural disaster prevention and mitigation
Advanced numerical methods for high performance computational earth sciences
Parallel and distributed algorithms and programming strategies for supercomputers
Software engineering for parallel systems with multi-core processors and accelerators
Algorithms for Big Data analytics and applications for large-scale data processing
Methodologies and tools designed for extreme-scale computing
All accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings of
ICCS2019, published by Springer in its LNCS series.
We have received funding from the German Priority Programme SPPEXA (http://www.sppexa.de)
that allows us to cover the conference fees for speakers of accepted papers!!
